The concept of "peace keeping" as devised by the UN is to allow parties a chance to stop fighting and maintain peace while searching for more lasting political solutions. Peace keeping does not work in active wars. UN peace keeping is a good idea but can be very difficult to implement and administer. Raw aggression is unlikely to eb stopped by peace-keeping and requires a military response -- as we saw in the first gulf war, which was a very successful method of conflict resolution and is an example of the success of the UN.

Iraq N-Sites Were Stripped Methodically-Diplomats 20 minutes ago World - Reuters By Louis Charbonneau VIENNA (Reuters) - The mysterious removal of Iraq (news - web sites)'s mothballed nuclear facilities continued long after the U.S.-led invasion and was carried out by people with access to heavy machinery and demolition equipment, diplomats said on Thursday. The United Nations (news - web sites) nuclear watchdog told the Security Council this week that equipment and materials that could be used to make atomic weapons had been vanishing from Iraq without either Baghdad or Washington noticing. "This process carried on at least through 2003 ... and probably into 2004, at least in early 2004," said a Western diplomat close to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which monitored Iraq's nuclear sites before last year's war. contiuned story.news.yahoo.com
